Question
A one-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be considered first, combined with local treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, fever-reducing measures should be taken as necessary; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child maintains adequate nutrition, consumes a light diet, and gets sufficient rest to avoid overexertion.
